Today at LIFE we were in the kitchen baking and lighting
cherries on fire. Librarians Patsy Brautigam and Tracy Williams celebrated
Cherry and Chocolate Month with some delectable desserts. Tracy started us out
with her cherry chocolate cake made from devils’ food cake mix and cherry pie
filling. The scent of freshly baked cake filled the air. Then she married the
savory flavor of pretzels and the bittersweet of Ghirardelli
chocolate to create a delightful candy. Patsy then made cherries
jubilee with Kirsh (cherry brandy) and regular brandy lighting the entire pan
on fire. It was then served on ice cream for a beautiful and delicious dessert
– and easy! Patsy remembered the first time she had cherries jubilee – when she
was 18 and on a date when the dessert was created with flare at the table. We
all relived the feelings of being 18 and eating cherries and ice cream. A la
recherche du temps perdu – eat your heart out, Marcel Proust.
